Description
Hook-shaped loops, sterile, are disposable inoculation tools for microbiology and related laboratory work. Each loop has a sterile polystyrene handle with a rounded surface designed to minimise damage to the surface of culture media during streaking or transfer. The hook geometry supports controlled handling of colonies and liquid samples under aseptic conditions. Units are supplied sterile and packed in inner packs of 20 pieces, with a total content of 2000 pieces per outer pack, making the format practical for high-throughput plating and routine culture work. A sterilisation certificate is available from the manufacturer. These loops from manufacturer Labbox suit clinical, research and quality-control laboratories that require consistent, single-use tools for inoculum transfer without risking medium surface disruption. Net weight of the pack is 9,396 kg. Use them wherever sterile, media-friendly inoculation loops with a hook profile are specified in standard operating procedures.

Questions about Hook-shaped Loops, sterile, pack of 20 pcs, 2000 pcs
What is this article?
Hook-shaped Loops, sterile, pack of 20 pcs, 2000 pcs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Inoculation loops, spreaders & needles, inside Culture media & microbiology, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A loop, a needle or a spreader transfers and streaks a culture. A calibrated loop of 1 µL or 10 µL is a volume claim. A needle stabs a deep. Disposable sterile plastic and reusable nichrome are different articles. A loop that is not sterile is a mixed culture.
A culture medium is the food and the solid or liquid home of a microorganism. Dehydrated media are powders the laboratory dissolves and sterilises. Ready-to-use plates and tubes are already that. A Petri dish is the plate. Selective media let one kind of organism grow and hold another back. The formulation and the supplements, not the colour of the agar, are the specification. Reference strains are at ATCC. Methods are on PubMed. Biosafety practice is the WHO laboratory biosafety topic.
